@thisbejonas
"DVD-Audio" is another game than "DVD-Video". I know of two choices to access the "Audio-TS"-part of Audio-DVDs. Both old but working, both from the same developer:
Have a look at "DVDAExplorer2008.07.21" and/or the foobar2000-plugin "foo_input_dvda".

My experience with optical drives in the past: If the Firmware detects an Audio-CD or a Video-DVD has to be read, the read speed is reduced to about 2x which ist sufficient for "normal" operation but makes ripping cumbersome. For such drives I used MediaCodeSpeedEdit to patch the Firmware.

Thank you for the clarification.
In the meantime I bought an ASUS BW-16D1HT (whatever Pro or Non-Pro, I assume 90DD01E0-B20000 Non-Pro) from an official ASUS shop. After a downgrade from 3.0.3 to 3.02 DE and at last to 3.10 MK I'm fully satisfied.

I posted my observation before I flashed my new BW-16D1HT (3.03) back to 3.02:
The LibreDrive information for my new BW-16D1HT can be seen in makemkv 1.4.2 for Windows but not in the Linux version.
After enabling the LibreDrive state (on Windows) there was no indication on Linux until I ripped a ...

FWIW:
The LibreDrive information for my new BW-16D1HT can be seen in makemkv 1.4.2 for Windows but not in the Linux version.

@mike admin:
Thank you for the explanation and the pleasant perspective to get rid of riplock sooner or later.

I found the subject message in some screenshots as a LibreDrive parameter. What does it mean? How to enable it?

My first guess was that the old MediaCodeSpeedEdit (http://ala42.cdfreaks.com/MCSE/) could be able to patch the firmware such that the read speed will be increased ("riplock" protection).

New ASUS BW-16D1HT (retail) will be offered with two different ASUS product numbers:
- 90DD01E0-B20000
- 90DD01E0-B20010

Does anybody know about the differences? Are both products suitable as a LibreDrive?

btw.: I found only one product number for the bulk variant (90DD01E0-B30000). Any advantage ...
